Employment Of Incompetent Engineers.

Employment of Incompetent Engineers.
The address Of Judson Pratt, of Cleveland, O. :.
delivered before the Indianapolis Association of
Stationary Engineers. on Thursday evening,
contained some things of a character likely to be
Of interest, and which are pertinent to the pres
ent General Assembly. Mr.. Pratt animadverted
rather severely upon the negligence of the law
which permitted an incompetent man to per-
form the duty of engineer. the result of
this often being the Encouragement of the
steam power, causing an explosion, which more
or less resulted in loss of life and property. He
thinks that all manufacturers others employ
ing incompetent engineers when boiler explo-
sions occur with loss of life should be prose-
cuted for manslaughter. He advocates the en-
actment Of such a law, and also one compelling
every engineer to possess a State license, and
also prosecuting those who practice without the
license. He also wants a boiler inspection law.
1t is expected bill will be introduced this win

cape from the Police Station.

John H. Underwood, the notorious outlaw, is
still in the county Jail, and is being guarded by
a detachment from the Metropolitan police.

sheriff and superintendent of police have received
kilograms from numerous points whore he is
wanted asking that special guard be kept over
him all the time. One police officer is kept in
the Jail with him, and another on the outside, so
there is little chance for his escape. Yesterday
he was caught making q wooden key for the
door of his cell, and there is no doubt ne has
little idea of remaining on the inside. The
turnkey stated, last evening" that if he persists
in attempting to escape he will be shackled.
Notwithstanding there arc several rewards out

LABOR MATTERS.

A Comical international Difficulty Arises
Over the Ehret Beer Boycott.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-A comical, but possibly
serious. international difficulty has arisen in
labor unionism here. George Ehret's lager beer.
which was boycotted by the Central Labor
Union last summer, in retaliation for the
conviction of striking walters in garden
where it was sold, is the chief beverage in Kos
ter g. Balls big and notorious concert hall. A
feature Of the entertainment there during the
past month SO has been a Salute of Ma
tions," in which quartets Of chorus girls marched
upon the stage, one after another, each
group carrying picturesquely the flag of
some country. while the corresponding ma
tional hymn was played and sung. The
green flag of Ireland was thus introduced. and
next came out the standard of Germany. Nights
this week, instead Of the unmixed applause
which greeted every other flag, Ireland has been
savagely and persstently Missed and booted.
Then. when tho German flag was disclosed. the
enthusiasm was contrastingly loud and fervid.
Investigation by patriotic 1rishmen has con-
vinced them that the leaders of the hostile
demonstration are the German walters of the
place, ardently seconded by Englishmen Re-
monstrauce has been in vain they assert, and
now the issue is made a trades-union one. on the
the Ehret beer was done principally by Irish
men, their flag is systematically insulted for
vengeance. The aim of the resentfu men Of
Erin is to have the Central Labor Union take up
the subject In to-morrow's regular Sunday con-
ference

The Chicago Anarchists Endorsed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15-In the national convention
of iourneymen bakers, to-day, resolution con-
demning the verdict in the Anarchist trial was
passed with a whoop. A delegate from New
York objected to the election of the eight con-
demned men to honorary membership in the
Chicago branch. The ground of the objection
was that none of the eight were bakers.
The convention, however, sustained the
election. subsequently the convention
was addressed by Albert Curllin, editor
of the Arbeiter Zeitung, who. amid great APP
plause, charged the responsibility o. the Hay
market riot to the police. IF the bomb had not
been thrown shouted Curllin, "Spies, Fieldeu

The Strike of Coal Handlers.

NEW YORK. JAM l5-There is still no material
change in the situation in the coal strike. Fac
tory men are numerously reporting that unless
they are relieved they will be obliged to close
their factories next week for want of coal. and
it is said that the supply of soft COAL which has
been drawn upon to take the place of anthracite
as far possible will soon be cut off by threat
to boycott the roads carrying it. The Delaware
& Hudson set more men at work this
morning, but a strike of Weehawaken's
switchmen is threatened and that would render
the Delaware & Hudson helpless again To-day
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company is
sued An informal notice that they would resume
work early next week, and that old employees
desiring to return to work would be given tho
preference. This signifies nothing, however as
1t is almost impossible to get men. The Del
aware & Lackawanna say that their arrange
ments are nearly completed for resuming work,
but will say nothing more definite. All of the
companies remain firm in their declaration that
the strikere cannot negotiate with them through
the knights of Labor, but will not say that they
will concede anything, even to the workmen
